Judge Glenn Kelley listened to arguments from Dalia Dippolito’s attorneys Thursday as to why the convicted murder-for-hire defendant should get out on bond while awaiting appeal, and announced he will issue a written ruling.

During the hearing, Dippolito’s mother, Randa Mohammed, testified on her daughter’s behalf –- confirming that Dippolito has never tried to flee during her eight years on house arrest and met all of her conditions.

Prosecutor Craig Williams then asked Mohammed what is the real name of the man called “James” in the transcript of a jailhouse phone call where Dippolito discussed a South Carolina prison break using a drone.

Mohammed hesitated, then answered, “Rob.”

“Rob who?” asked Williams.

Dippolito attorney Andrew Greenlee objected, saying revealing the name would identify the father of Dippolito’s baby.

WPBF 25 News has confirmed through court records that Robert Davis, 33, has a lengthy criminal background, including felony convictions for robbery and battery, aggravated battery with a weapon and possession of cocaine. He also has several domestic abuse arrests that were dropped. His last felony charge in 2011 for fleeing and eluding police was ultimately dropped.

Rob Davis, 33, the father of Dalia Dippolito’s son

Mohammed confirmed that Davis has lived at her gated Boynton Beach home with her, Dippolito and Dippolito and Davis’ now 16-month-old son for a year, while Dippolito was on house arrest.

When asked after court if she had any reservations about Davis’ background, Mohammed did not answer.

Prosecutors told the judge that Dippolito’s baby makes her even more of a flight risk.

Her attorneys, including Brian Claypool, who spoke via telephone, said she had proved she is not a flight risk during eight years on house arrest, and the jailhouse call to Davis regarding a prison break in South Carolina, was just idle conversation.

“I think it’s preposterous to suggest when she was on house arrest for eight years and had every opportunity to flee the court that she would try to do it now, using a drone, bringing in wire cutters; the whole thing is absurd,” said Andrew Greenlee after the hearing.

Prosecutors also filed a motion Thursday asking for sanctions against Dippolito attorney Greg Rosenfeld, claiming he deliberately did not bring Dippolito to a court ordered mental health evaluation. Kelley said he would rule on that motion at a later date.

As far as the bond decision, Kelley said while he knows it is a disappointment to everyone, he likes to issue written rulings whether he grants or denies a defendant’s motion for appellate bond.If denied, Dippolito would begin serving a 16 year prison sentence.
